Hello-
I was reading this article about celebrity workouts and how they stay in shape to look so good for their movies or shows and thought that some of what they do is crazy.
Who has time to workout for 3 hours a day or go on a 10k run before 10 am?
The article profiles several celebrities and their workouts and asks how realistic they are for ordinary folks like us who just want to lose a few pounds.
Here is what Sarah Jessica Parker does:
SJP runs every day, climbs stairs, does yoga, pumps iron and works out with her personal trainer for two hours a day.
Despite her sinewy arms and thin, wiry frame, which couldn’t have been achieved without an intense exercise regime, SJP still claims she’d rather “go to a dinner party than slave away in the gym”.
- Regime rating: 5/10
- Potential health risks:
None of this exercise is damaging in itself, but doing it every day for a long time can store up problems. Also excessive working out with weights can create a sinewy, unfeminine look as sported by SJP and Madonna.
- The real woman’s version:
Running up and down stairs is a good cardio work out, but just do it for five minutes a day.
“…runs every day, climbs stairs, does yoga, pumps iron and works out with her personal trainer for two hours a day.”
That is just crazy.
And for most people that is just too much.
But then again, most of us don’t get paid millions of dollars to star in movies :o)
She can afford to workout like that.
All us mere mortals need to do is a few minutes of cardio and a few sets of resistance training to burn those extra calories for the day.
